ShortVid Scraper: Export Videos, Comments, Profiles & More

You need short-form video data. But getting it out is painful. Copying video stats one by one into a spreadsheet. Manually scrolling through comment sections. Clicking into each profile just to grab follower counts. If you've ever tried to collect data from short video platforms at scale, you know the drill - hours of repetitive clicking for a dataset that should take minutes. ShortVid Scraper fixes this. One extension, all the public data you need, exported in seconds. WHY COLLECTING SHORT VIDEO DATA IS SO HARD These platforms don't offer a public data export. Official APIs have strict rate limits and require developer approval. That leaves researchers, marketers, and analysts stuck with two options: manual copy-paste or expensive third-party SaaS tools that charge per row. - Video metrics are scattered across search results, profiles, and the For You Page - Comment data disappears behind "view more" buttons and infinite scroll - Follower lists require clicking into each profile individually - There's no native way to compare engagement across multiple creators Most people end up with incomplete spreadsheets and wasted afternoons. This extension solves that by intercepting the data already loaded in your browser and letting you export it cleanly. WHAT THIS EXTENSION DOES ShortVid Scraper runs entirely in your browser. It captures public data as pages load - no external servers, no API keys, no accounts required. Just navigate to any supported page and start collecting. No spreadsheet formulas. No manual copying. No third-party data brokers. Here's what you can extract: Videos in a List - Captures video descriptions, timestamps, durations, view counts, likes, shares, comment counts, author details including nicknames, bios, verification status, and music metadata. Works on search results, profiles, the For You Page, and Explore sections. Video Details - Full metadata from individual video pages including descriptions, creation time, category, dimensions, engagement metrics, author information, and associated music data. Video Comments - Comment text, timestamps, languages, like counts, reply counts, author nicknames, and threaded reply data from any video's comment section. User Profiles - Usernames, nicknames, bios, follower and following counts, like counts, video counts, avatars, verification status, privacy settings, and commercial account indicators. User Follows - Follower and following lists including usernames, bios, engagement metrics, verification status, and account settings. HOW IT WORKS 1.

BATCH PROCESSING Batch URL Opener lets you queue multiple URLs and process them all in one session.
